Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> AW: Unix for oracle dba -- Suggest a book ?
Yes. This is also a very good book. I own an older version for Oracle 8.0.x,
but I remember it to be pretty well written and concise.
Another remark on Unix books for Oracle DBAs: My company got a copy of Oracle 9i Unix Adminstration Handbook by Don Burleson. It starts at the very beginnings of command line tools and the like, so I already knew that stuff. I was surprised how badly the book was reviewed by the editors (I guess), since there were so many (small but still) glitches in there, starting from the explanation of /etc/passwd to mixing up DOS command line tools and Unix ones. Nothing big, but if you are a total novice, these kind of things might be confusing and a professional book at the price of about 50 bucks shouldn't have that many mistakes. This is very unfortunate, since it is overall a very neat volumen. That almost reminds me of the Couchman OCP study guide. Your were ready to be certified by the time you were able to identify all the errors in the book and to correct them ;).
Regards,
Stefan
